Linda Mcclure Gumpaste

I have seen her youtube videos on making gumpaste and would like to try it. I understand this gumpaste is for using in cutting machines like the Cricut but am wondering if the recipe is ok to use like regular gumpaste for flowers or figurines. Anyone out there have any experience with her gumpaste?Thanks.

I use her recipe all the time for all of my gum paste work. It is excellent for flowers, especially is a high humidity area. If you make the recipe with 3 tablespoons of CAI tylose and find it is too firm, just add some fondant to help soften it up a bit. The extra firm gum paste is for the cutting machines. Also, you can make it in advance and store it in the freezer until you need it.

I make it all the time for use with the Make The Cut program on my Silhouette - it really is awesome and you can get it so thin that it resembles fabric - the BEST for fabric drapes and realistic bows. I keep mine in a piece of saran wrap that's been greased with Crisco - then am careful to squish out all the air pockets. She says you can freeze it too. Extra rubbery so it is great for frilly flowers.
